Here’s a touching personal story about a side of “college life” that not many people talk about. The guy speaking here earned 4 degrees from MIT in 16 semesters.
Brought tears to my eyes. I work with these kids sometimes.
the fact that mit attracts people like this makes me want to go there even more regardless of the workload
The MIT part matters far less than the ability of this young man to take a stigmatizing and painful disability and persevere in spite of it. He probably would have found a way to do this no matter where he went to school.
